R.S.V. Blues

I am an assistant director at a very small daycare. We are so small I am also the infant teacher. I have 4 infants in my class including my daughter. Well, all of them have been super cranky and snotty lately. After multiple trips to the doc for all of us 3 out if the 4 have R.S.V. The 4th one is being treated as if he has it because the chances of him contracting it are so high. The 1st baby diagnosed is 6 months old and is out of daycare for a week and on breathing treatments. The second baby diagnosed is 9 weeks old and in the hospital until at least tomorrow afternoon. My daughter is the 3rd baby, 8 weeks old, and has a milder case of it. ------- Doc said she is no where near being hospitalized but she will get worse over the next few days. He said the ONLY reason she isn't in the hospital is because she is breastfed and she is receiving the antibodies I am producing. ----- I feel so awful for the other 3, who aren't breastfed. Not because they aren't breastfed but because they are so sick. ----- Sage sounds so bad and is so miserable. I feel like an awful mom because I can't help her feel better. She coughs and just cries because she hurts so bad. ---- Thanks for letting me vent, it's going to be a long 5 days stranded at home. (sorry for no paragraphs, iPhone)

My son will be 12 weeks tomorrow. It does make them sound horrible. He was on breathing treatments for 10 days here at home. He's getting better though. Never heard or read (and I did alot of reading on it) about ff and bf differences for babies.

He said it wouldn't happen this way for every BF baby. But since I was exposed to the germs that cause the virus my milk is giving her what she needs to fight it better. But if there was another BF baby in the room who's mom didn't work there they would probably be worse off than Sage.
